When using createGroup, the side must already have a group present in the mission. For example, you can't use _spawnGroup = createGroup Civilian if there isn't at least 1 civillian group already in existance. I'm unsure as to wether this civillian has to be alive, etc. ARMA may or may not clean up dead groups.

I haven't tested wether or not it will work if there *was* a group from the correct side, but isn't now.

The group limit is 144 groups groups per side. If you attempt to create a group, and there is no room for another, it simply doesn't create, and it doesn't error.
